Getting Started With Assets

Assets can be added in multiple ways. Here we will discuss drag and drop and manual creation.

Drag and Drop

Step 1

Locate the desired asset you wish to upload to CM Box. Drag and drop it onto the asset grid accessed from the ‘Content’ menu. You can add multiple assets at a time by dragging and dropping a group of files.

Step 2

When you are staisfied with the list of files to add, click ‘Create Assets’. This will begin the process of uploading the file to CM Box. When added through this method, all assets will be of the ‘Upload’ type. You can modify the asset type by clicking the ‘Edit’ icon on the lower right corner of a given asset.

Step 3

In the detail screen select the desired ‘Asset Type’ from the ‘Change Type’ dropdown menu. Click the ‘Update’ button on the lower right of the screen. This will save the asset type change and keep you on the asset detail page.

Starting from the Asset Grid page, click ‘Create’ from the upper, right of the screen.

Step 2

Select the desired type from the dropdown menu and click ‘Continue’.

Step 3

Complete the ‘Create’ form. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk.

Step 4

When you are satisfied with the form, click the ‘Create’ button in the lower right of the screen. This will add the new asset to the asset grid and upload the asset to the selected storage system.
